The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A gentle, methodical sliding-block puzzle where you carefully nudge cute animals to their happy places, feeling calm and satisfyingly clever.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, cozy logic puzzle where animals have preferences that must be arranged. They praise the cute art and sounds, and note clever mechanics like eggs that hatch and bombs that reset animals. A few wish for more levels and UI polish. Some find certain mechanics unclear.
